Bride & Groom Night

Tonight was my nephew Broxton's first night to host an event at my Cherry Street club. He had opportunities prior but RL prevented it from happening. So tonight was a big night and I let him choose the theme for the event which turned out to be Bride & Groom Night. That means everyone wears their best wedding outfit. Some of the women's gowns were stunning. Some of them were very sexy too. It was a fun night had by all and quite a few people showed up to party and compete for the monetary prize. Trivia was going and Darren and Gly and Miliardo were really going at it. Later on, Brox's blushing bride, Aurora showed up. Emi and Kitty were on the dance poles, both dressed very sexy in their bridal outfits. I played mostly rock and some metal but managed to sneak in some slower songs for the couple's dances. An old acquaintance, Starr showed up too for a bit. Aurora won the contest in her white wedding gown. My pet was able to show up later on to sneak in a few dances with me in her stunning blue gown.  It was one of the more memorable nights.

Afterwards, it was time for Brox and Aurora to be wed. I was invited to witness along with cat, Darren and Emi. Unfortunately, cat had to leave but I promised her pics and a full rundown of the event. We all went to a castle which was fully decked out with a huge chapel on one of the floors. Emi, Darren and I sat up front and waited for the bride and groom.
It took a while before they showed up because Brox had been a victim of the 'crashies' all night long, but he did finally make it. Aurora was lovely as she walked up the isle to wed her man as Merlin the wizard presided.

Merlin: Friends, we are gathered here today to celebrate the love of Aurora Darkthief and Broxton Thibodeaux, as they make their pledges of marriage before this company.
Merlin: Love is the greatest gift we can offer one another, and that is what makes marriage so very special, and such a cause of joy and celebration for all of us who have come here today to share in this event.

Merlin: Marriage is an act of faith and ever-deepening commitment, as well as a loving union between a man and a woman. It has been described as the best and the most important relationship that two people can share, the creation of a single growing energy of spiritual life. Marriage can be a lifelong unfolding of loving kindness, backed by the will to make it last. There is no limit to the knowing of another's soul, and when you learn to love one person, then you grow in love for all of humanity.
Merlin: These are beautiful wedding rings.  May these rings be blessed as a symbol of this affectionate unity. Your two lives are being joined today in one unbroken circle. Wherever you go, may you always return to one another in your togetherness. May you find in one another the love for which all men and women yearn. May you grow in understanding and compassion. May the home which you establish together be such a place of sanctuary that all who are here today and others through the years will find there true friends. May these rings, soon to be on your fingers, symbolize the touch of the spirit of love that is in both your hearts.

Merlin: Broxton Thibodeaux,  in placing the ring on Aurora Darkthief's left hand, please repeat after me: Aurora Darkthief , I give you this ring as a pledge of my love, and as a symbol of our unity.

Merlin: Aurora Darkthief,  in placing the ring on Broxton Thibodeaux's left hand, please repeat after me: Broxton Thibodeaux , I give you this ring as a pledge of my love, and as a symbol of our unity.
Aurora Darkthief (zaradear): Broxton Thibodeaux , I give you this ring as a pledge of my love, and as a symbol of our unity

Merlin: May your days and years to come be filled with the kind of integrity and joy, that will enable you to live through those times ahead which may be tough. And may your affection for each other grow, thus enriching and strengthening all of us.

ZaraDear, Will you Marry me Online?  Love, JD

Merlin: Go now in peace and love, and may these things touch your hearts, and be with you through the days of your life together.

Merlin became a bit confused when Brox crashed and quickly returned so I took over for the end of the ceremony, but it all worked out quite well. I love weddings and this will be one of the more memorable I've been to. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Thibodeaux for inviting me.
